I've solved the problem!
1) I had uninnstalled Ethereal 0.8.17.
2) Deleted the old gtk libraries from c:/winnt/system32 that I had
installed with 0.8.15
3) reinstalled Ethereal 0.8.17
Now all the things works. I have just one interfaces of the two
Etherne working (and this is correct since I'm connected to
the docking station).
I will try the WAN/PPP and let you know what's going on.
Thanks for the help!!!
And thanks to all the folks who develop Ethereal
I really like it and I'm trying to test it deeply!
Bye
Simone
